  • External sharing and audit logging

Devices, backups, and monitoring

The bottom line, what is working, what needs attention, what was not verified, and the first three actions.

Evidence appendix

Observed state, evidence, expected state, recommended correction, and a verification method for your provider.

How it works

Four steps, no sprawl.

  1. Confirm scope

    A short conversation confirms the business, systems, evidence sources, and price.

  2. Collect evidence

    We use public observation, read-only evidence, configuration exports, screenshots, or documentation supplied by you or your provider.

  3. Verify and prioritize

    Controls are classified as Working, Needs Attention, or Not Verified.

  4. Read out the decision

    You receive the executive conclusion, technical appendix, and first three recommended actions.

Fixed scope

Know what you can prove.
